AN ODD VISITOR.

The governor O1 ArKanSaW naQ Just turned from a petition bearing six hundred and eighty four names, when a tall, angular woman, carrying a gingham sunbonnet by the strings, entered the room and, dropping on 8 settee, said:
 q want to see the gov'ner."
 "I am the governor, madam"
 "Shore?"
 "Yes, am quite sure."
 "Wall, I come to ask why you didn't answer my letter. I live out in the hills. Moved there lately from Indyany. Sent you letter by fel- Ter named Steve Spencer. Why didn't you answer it?"
 "Your name, please?"
 "Jane Bromfeld. From as good a family as ever lived in the state. Father was a Mcintosh and mother was Harkrider."
 "I did not receive your letter, Mrs. Bromfield."
 "Look here, do you reckon that fel- Ter got drunk an lost that docky- ment?"
 q don't know anything about his habits"
 "But don't it stand to reason that he got drunk"
 "Well, it's far from impossible"
 "Pll tell you what that letter was about. Shortly after got here, Tobe, my husband, was sent to the peniten- tiary. He wasn't a citizen of the state at the time, and I didn't think his sentence would hold good"
 "His not being citizen makes no difference"
 "And he could be sent to the peni- tentiary before he had right to voter"
 "Yes."
 "And stay there just the same as any citizen?"
 "Certainly."
 'Shore?"
 "Of course, madam; I know what I am talking about. I would like to tell you, before you put yourself to the trouble of pleading his cause, that it is quite useless. He is doubtless guilty, and I therefore cannot grant him pardon"
 My sakes alive, man, don't skeer yourself, tor Pm not goin' to ask for pardon. The letter I writ you at a time when l thought you couldn't hold him unless he was voter stated the fact that he voted at the last lection whether or mo-"
 "Then you don't want him par doned."
 Not much. Pve done so much bet ter sense he's been in there that I never do want to set eyes on him him again. It may sound a little strange, but it is fact, that as soon as they took him away the hens that had been mopin' 'round on a sort of strike all spring put in to layin', and 1 wish 1 may die if 1 didn't think they would lay themselves to death. One big old dominicker-the finest hen on the place, but mighty sulky and hard to please at times-hadn't laid single egg for two months, but when she found that they had took Tobe off she set in to layin', an I never seen | AiOthih bO ChOl llOls kAO u WdlN around the yard and sing awhile an then she'd go in and lay. Tobe was sent up for year. Couldn't you, to oblige poor woman, make it two, governor?"
 ':Oh, no; have no authority to ex- tend the time."
 q didn't know but to oblige po' woman you mout."
 "No, cannot"
 Well, don't you think you could slip six months in on him anyhow?"
 "No, can't extend his time min ute."
 "But you are shore that you won't let him out under year."
 "We'll keep him in that long,"
 "Well, am much obliged to you for doin' what you can," she said, aris- ing "and believe that if you had the power you would do more for me. Good day" NAppRECIATED

Testimony OF u st. Paul Architect:
have used Hall Patent Sheathing Lath IN
nv own house for the purpose of testing the
claims made for 1t. and I take pleasure In
testltying to its merits. There is not O crack
to be seen in the plasterlng applied on the
Sheathing Lath, and am of the opinion that
when the Lath is manufactured out of well
seasoned material, and has been properly
nailed, it must give satisfactory res ults OF
course the mortar must be laid on with sutfi
